Apple may be working on Nintendo Switch-like gaming console with Silicon chipset inside

Nintendo Switch is one of the best-selling handheld gaming consoles with many exclusives.

Apple doubled down its efforts towards making gaming an important part of its services with Apple Arcade. The subscription-based gaming service is available on the iPhone, iPad, Mac, and Apple TV. That is pretty much every device category in Apple's ecosystem with a big screen that you can play a horde of games on. But there is one device category that will never go out of fashion when it comes to gaming. And that is a handheld console. Now, Apple may be working on its own portable gaming console that will be similar to Nintendo’s popular Switch console. As per a report by Wccftech, Apple is looking to wrest the console crowd as it constitutes a significant portion of the gaming industry. Although Apple offers several options to play games, including the latest Apple TV 4K with A12 Bionic chipset, it thinks it is not doing much and the plan is to take on the Nintendo Switch next. This console that Apple may be working on is hybrid in nature, which may mean that it can double as a mobile device when not being used for gaming. Although specifics are scarce at this point, the report mentioned this console will use the Apple Silicon processor inside.
